Recent developments in the State of Colorado, including the Attorney General’s announcement of a comprehensive investigation of sexual abuse allegations against Colorado, have changed the legal landscape for survivors of sexual abuse by clergy in the Diocese of Colorado Springs. The Attorney General investigation, which is only in its infancy, could very well reveal abuse and cover-up patterns similar to those found in New York and Pennsylvania in their groundbreaking grand jury investigations and result in statute of limitations reform like we have seen in New York.

The exact extent of the sexual abuse crisis and its impact on parishioners in the Diocese of Colorado Springs, a relatively new Catholic diocese, is unknown. The Diocese has never been publicly named in a lawsuit or other allegation of abuse, but that does not mean that no clergy have ever been accused of sexual abuse. All that means is that, until this day, no one has told the general public about it. That makes the Attorney General’s independent investigation even that more important for public safety and child protection if accused clergy walk among us.

The Catholic Dioceses of Colorado, including the Diocese of Colorado Springs, have established a voluntary compensation fund for survivors of sexual abuse, but you must act soon.

Recently, the Bishop of Colorado Springs, Michael Sheridan, announced that the Archdiocese of Denver will participate in a confidential, voluntary compensation settlement fund for victims of sexual abuse by clergy in the State of Colorado. The fund, which is modeled after similar funds in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, will compensate victims in a shorter, more cursory process than full-blown litigation. Respected attorney Kenneth Feinberg, who administered the New York and Pennsylvania claims and other high profile, sensitive claims like the 9/11 Fund, and his business manager, Camille Biros, will review each claim as a neutral third party and award compensation. We have extensive experience handling claims in the compensation funds and are very familiar with the process and expectations of Mr. Feinberg and Ms. Biros.

There will be a deadline by which all claims must be filed with the Archdiocese of Denver, so it is important that you act today to protect your rights under the fund. Contact us today to discuss your options.
